what a distinctive theatre I loved every second even the dusty smell added to the atmosphere I half expected Shakespeare himself to come on stage

Have visited this theatre twice now and both performances were excellent, well staged with good accoustics. Quite small theatre with a fairly basic bar but very friendly.

We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary by watching Joe Brown at the Hippodrome. The theartre is very small so it felt really intimate.We felt very in touch with all the old time acts that must have performed there in the past.It is a beautiful building inside, just ignore the exterior.We were shown to our seat by a lovely lady. The toilets were very clean. We didn't use the bar so cannot comment on it, nor did we buy an ice cream but they were available should we have wanted one.We had a lovely evening and do hope to return soon.

Went to see Joe Brown, he was great as always.
The theatre is much more attractive on the inside compared to the outside. It could do with a little TLC.
However lovely atmosphere, comfy seats, leg room and friendly staff.
Overall a great experience.

The theatre, which is manned by volunteers, retains an air of late victorian genteelity. Comfortable seats allow one to it and enjoy the shows in comfort. Parking in the area can be difficult but not impossible

What a magnificent building, which when you consider it is run mainly by volunteers, is credit to them all.
We were collected from our hotel by a volunteer in his car and taken back. We were shown to our seats by a volunteer. We were served ice cream by a volunteer and bought our programme from a volunteer. The interior of the theatre is spectacular and is being brought up todate by donations.
We were made to feel very welcome and part of the evenings entertainment. The show itself was called Magic in the Music and I would give it 10 out of 10.
It was such a good evening that we even donated money (voluntarily) to keep the place going.
If you live in Eastbourne and have not been to a show then shame on you. When its gone you will regret it.

Visited the Hippodrome for the first time at the weekend to see the excellent Stringfever. We were all blown away by how beautiful it is inside and how close you are to the performers. Apparently it's all run by volunteers and I take my hat of to them for the excellent work they do. Will definitely be looking out for more shows to see in this beautiful venue.

Wow just wow.
The Christmas cracker show was just such fun.
Great fun story full of well versed Christmas songs to get everyone toe tapping and singing.
Perfectly chosen and exceptional actors to keep the fun moving at a great pace to keep young and old very entertained.
It is truly a great production.

This time the show was "Rolling Back The Years", which was great. This is such a beautiful historic theatre with an amazing atmosphere. They do Theatre Tours which are fantastic.Run by volunteers, this theatre is always a joy to visit. Highly recommended.
